ENEMY TO FRIEND

ENEMY TO FRIEND

One worst enemy

From the beginning I hate him

Due to his personality 

That bears problem.

Stupid! Is my enemy

Understand no words

Thoughts of insanity

Ignorant of this world.

Endowed with no talent 

Equipped with no skill

He is a turbulent

My enemy, I want to kill.

Poverty, sickness, and hunger

Suffered by my enemy

He finds no helper

In the greedy city.

Tears my enemy cries

Alas! I say

I think he'll die

Anytime of this day.

Suddenly! One man came

He said, "My beloved son,

I will remove your problem

And carry your burden."

My enemy gains confidence

Develop his personality

With the aid of Divine Providence

And become famous celebrity.

From now on I learn to love

My worst enemy

With grace from above

I praise him personally.

What a grace from above?

From enemy turns into friend

Myself, I learn to love

And it becomes my best friend. 

PRAYER FOR EVERYTHING

PRAYER FOR EVERYTHING 

Dearest Lord,

Thank you for everything 

we possess in this world.

Sorry for everything 

we committed against you.

Give us everything 

we need in life.

Amen...

SEARCHING FOR HANDSOME

"SEARCHING FOR HANDSOME"


One day as I roamed in this world,
From east to west, north to south pole.
To search for handsome in this world,
But I never found any handsome at all.


Along the boulevard, walking and walking,
I looked at the faces of the people.
Even if they were always smiling,
I never found any handsome at all.


I went to the seashore,
To look for someone beautiful.
Ugly faces again were plentiful,
I never found any handsome at all.


After roaming, I decided to go home,
To take a rest in my facile room.
I looked at myself in the mirror,
Finally, I found handsome in that room. 

ODE TO MY FATHER

ODE TO MY FATHER 

Only a responsible father

Can give things better

To his children and wife

And they are inspiration to his life.

He will make great deeds

And he will provide all their needs.

He will protect his family

From all harm and injury.

He will give them education

So that they will have determination

To face the reality in life

And to follow what is right.

To you, we owe gratitude

Because of your attitude.

You show and share

And make us very dear.   

ONE-DAY MILLIONAIRE

               ONE-DAY MILLIONAIRE

HE CAN’T BELIEVE TO BE A MILLIONAIRE,

IT HAPPENS ONLY VERY RARE.

HE’S SO VERY HAPPY AND GLAD,

WITH MILLIONS OF MONEY HE HAD.

SPENDING MONEY HERE AND THERE,

GAMBLING HIS OWN WEALTH OVER THERE.

HE IS A LIQUOR DRINKER,

AND A GOOD CHAIN SMOKER.

HIS FAMILY IS VERY PROUD,

PROCLAIMING TO THE NIEGHBORS’ CROWD.

ABOUT THEIR SILVER AND GOLD,

THAT THEY POSSESS IN THIS WORLD.

TOMORROW, HE IS VERY SICKLY,

HE CAN’T BELIEVE, JUST YESTERDAY,

HE IS HAPPY GAMBLING AND DRINKING,

AND NOW HE’S IN THE BED SLEEPING

TO THE HOSPITAL HE’S CONFINED,

PAYING MILLIONS OF MONEY TO BE FINE.

IT HAPPENS ONLY VERY RARE,

HE’S ONLY A ONE-DAY MILLIONAIRE.

NEVER GIVE UP

"NEVER GIVE UP"

Never give up!

To the unbeatable foe

And unconquerable woe

That you meet in a battle.

Never give up!

To the continuing miseries

And overflowing anxieties

That you experience as you live.

Never give up!

To the ceaseless difficulties

And restless sacrifices

That you suffer along the way.

Never give up!

to the fruitless action

And impossible ambition 

That you take across the miles.

Never give up!

To the copious sadness

And plenteous greediness

That you encounter in your surrounding.

Never give up!

To the destructive criticism 

And sensitive sarcasm

That you hear from your enemies. 

IN THE SEA

"IN THE SOUNDING SEA"

Once upon a midnight,

When the moonlight was bright.

As I walked in the seashore,

The wind invited me to play,

Above and below the sounding sea.

At first, I was not sure,

To heed the wind's call.

At last, I respond to him,

And I go with him.

Above and below the sounding sea,

Flying like a bee,

Swimming like a fish.

Singing and dancing with the whales,

Playing and laughing with fishes.

I view with so much wonder,

The power of the Maker,

Of these things fantastic,

And made it realistic,

To witness the sounding sea,

For me an ordinary,

Of this work exemplary. 

SCRIPTURES

         "SCRIPTURES"


Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet,
And a light unto my path.
I keep my solemn promise,
To obey your commandments.


People are no more enduring than grass.
Grass withers and flowers fade,
But the Word of God endures forever.


Your Word, O Lord, will last forever,
It is eternal in heaven.
If your law is not the source of our joy,
We will die from our sufferings.


We will never neglect your commandments.
Because by them you have kept us alive.
We will meditate on your law. 


The Word of God is alive and active,
Sharper than two-edged sword.
It cuts all the way through, to where soul and spirit meet,
To where joints and marrow come together. 


Everything written in the Scriptures,
Was written to teach us,
In order that we might have hope,
Through the patience and encouragement,
Which the Scriptures give us.

FRIENDSHIP

FRIENDSHIP

Friendship is like an eagle’s wings,

That carries one another to the highest mountain.

Flies to the shining and rising sun,

That above all landscape and native land.

Soars beyond imagination and dream,

That has no more frustration and problem.

Friendship is like a boat and ship,

That brings and keeps both safe,

To a journey of formidable ocean,

Where the monstrous sharks and fishes shun,

And goes to the deepest of the sea,

Where no one can able us to see.

Friendship is like a lamplight,

That brightens the awful night,

Of this disastrous and penurious life.

It finds and views hope for the sight,

To walk through the path and footsteps right,

And to make the darkest hour’s bright.

Friendship is like a book,

That the scholars read and look.

It secures divine knowledge and wisdom,

To refrain from lonesome and boredom.

It endows intelligent information,

And bestows brilliant education.

Friendship is like a tree,

That supplies fruits for free.

It gives shade to the lowly,

And provides a resting place to stay.

It protects from the heat of the sunlight,

To remain calm and might.

How wonderful is the friendship?

Of these great characteristics,

Of a real and selfless friendship,

Even for death, it’s willing to take risk,

For this unfathomable relationship,

Of such an endless and deathless friendship.

SALUTATION TO A WOMAN

SALUTATION TO A WOMAN

Stars and moon in the sky dance

As you bloom your innate fragrance.

Roar of the animals in the farm

Inspired by your beauty and charm.

Creatures of this earth bow down

As you walk around the town.

River flows gaily into the sea

Vast ocean of Pacific waves calmly.

Inheritance of goddess Venus’ glamour

Suitable for you to be the splendor.

Absolutely you possess remarkable intelligence

Yield by your hardwork and diligence.

You’re the greatest gift of this world

Satiation of this hungry world.

LITTLE FLOWER

LITTLE FLOWER

Mother Earth, we praise you,

Little flower blooms because of you.

Charm and beauty it possesses,

Heart and soul it brings happiness.

Exemplary for uprightness and goodness,

Life becomes many-splendored mysteries.

Leaves adore before its presence,

Mankind fascinated with its florescence.

Thorns of the plants cannot hurt it,

Arrogant animals kneel down before it.

Creeks and rivers wave their hands,

Angels look and smile at our land.

No creature excels with little flower,

God is the only creator and maker.

"WHERE ARE YOU LORD"

"WHERE ARE YOU LORD"

One man living in this earth

Who is suffering since birth 

He is a man of vices

And his trials never ceases.

One time he talked to his dear God

A distance long from high above

About all his shortcomings on earth

Which he experienced since birth.

Where are you Lord during my sickness,

In times of my defeat and my difficulties?

Where are you Lord during my sadness,

In times of my sinfulness and my anxieties?

Where are you Lord during my great humiliation,

In times of my frustration and my prosecution?

Where are you Lord during my poverty,

In times of my fear and my misery?

God replied, "My son, my beloved son,

How I waited this day that you'll tell me,

All your doubts and grudges against me,

Just ask, pray, and believe me my son."

"Do not worry for all your endeavors,

I will open all your closed doors,

And remove all your burden,

As well as all your life's problem."

The man cried and worshiped his dear God

And said "I will adore you from above,

From now on you're my Almighty God,

And I will praise your name from above."
